We at Abilitie are excited to announce that we have earned a coveted Brandon Hall Group silver medal for excellence in the Best Use of Blended Learningcategory in partnership with Western Digital.

The winning program, Leading@WDC, is a hallmark example of what a creative partnership between committed organizations can create. We are honored that the hard work shared between Western Digital and our team at Abilitie has continued to pay off.

“Excellence Award winners symbolize the power and impact that Human Capital Management practices can have on a business or on any organization,” said Rachel Cooke, COO of Brandon Hall Group and head of the awards program.

Award entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based upon the following criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation, and overall measurable benefits.

We see this award as especially exciting, as it highlights one of the often forgotten benefits of a comprehensive training and development program—learning together leads to a strong company culture. As one leader of an acquired team noted, “I’ve never felt more welcome than when I came to this program.”

Participants of this blended learning program forged strong networks with one another and built trust. This trust is essential, and we at Abilitie believe that engaging, challenging, and rewarding learning programs are among the best ways to build it.
